Seems cheap?

Sounds like a bargain and you are all dillydallying over it....I'm going to transfer the funds now to his mothers account in Nigeria as she is not well and he is having problems with his cashcard and then wait for collection this week.

Wahoooo!

Too late, I've already sent him £6k via Western Union and the same again as a delivery fee. Snooze and you lose in this game suckers!

You are too late Bootsy.

I sent 6k over the weekend by the same method which he banked along with 25 others who did the same yesterday. He sent me a pic from his mobile on a plane to the Far East today holding a wad of cash in his hand grinning from ear to ear. The car is in a lockup in Liverpool and I have to contact his brother to get the keys. He lives at 1 Devonshire Place, Toxteth so sounds like a nice place, probably an Edwardian detached in a leafy avenue or something.

Do they ever find a buyer using these tactics? this car was sold in Nov 2007 through Bonhams if I recall correctly. I think it's even the same photo they used.

Rubbish, I have been talking to Terry wayyyy before all you guys. I was send a pdf with the memorandum of sale.

It is not at Devonshire place, Mike: it is 1 Devonshire road. Had to bargain hard though- got it for 4400. Euros that is: can't believe my luck as that's even more of a discount! He did sound in a hurry but then again, many porsche specialists are these days.

Roll on the good weather.

i reckon i was first on the case, saw it sunday and looking hard at the mo for a chrome window 911 (any engine will do for me), got a smilar reply - mentioned i thought he was a scammer and got this

"I appreciate the time and hope we can make a deal. First, I am 100% honest.
I truly apologize being straight forward but I believe in it, for your sake and mine.
Over the past few years, I have sold many thing via eBay and
gumtree, autotrader.co.uk. Over the course of these transactions, I have had many scams
used on me. I have been given forged checks and fake cashiers checks. I
started accepting paypal, only to have many confirmed payments reversed
after the item was shipped. When I deposit a check funds are released,
but forged checks can take weeks to be found and then my account will
have money deducted. These scams have cost me thousands of pounds.
Once I received a counterfeit check.
Please do not take this as me distrusting you personally, please
understand that I am simply trying to protect my interests as you are while completing a mutually satisfying transaction. You're welcome to pick it up anytime.
However, if it's not what it appears to be, I suggest you to go elsewhere.
If you decide not to go through with it there is no problem. I got quite a
few offers left. Get back to me and let me know what you decide. Thank you
for your time and interest..
Whatever you decide I wish you good luck."

damn he almost got me with that one, but i would only buy a car in the flesh, and he was cagey with where it was, etc

i cant believe i have obly just noticed this section of the forum! ive been a member for well over a year and only just found this bit! Will have to check it more often as the search for a 911 in full swing, you will probally see some of my wanted adverts in pistonheads/car and classic.
